Synopsis:

Malplaquet, a Queen Anne palace bedecked with exquisite Gobelin tapestries, paintings by Dutch and Flemish masters, fine Italian marble halls and with Cuban mahogany floors, is a fit and proper home for the Fitzpatrick family. Eight hundred acres of grassland and fine stabling bear witness to their native-born passion for Irish horseflesh. But a canker lies at the heart of the Fitzpatrick paradise, a rot that devours the glory of the house, and the honour of its inhabitants. Its dark seed lies buried deep in the past when impressionable and undeniably lovely Fiona French is brought to Malplaquet House to marry shy Dermot Fitzpatrick. Her sin is to fall headlong in lust with his bold younger brother, Patrick, to love him and bear his child. Theirs is a tormented, destructive love which brings ecstacy and ruin. Yet her marriage to Dermot takes place when Patrick is banished, disinherited and cursed by his brother. Years later, the past raises it venomous cobra head and strikes at the fragile veneer of normality do precious to Dermot, threatening the future of Malplaquet and Fiona's very sanity. Seamus, Paddy's son, returns to his family's home, an unwitting instrument of his father's malevolent scheme for revenge…

Generic Used Book Descriptions:

Very Good: These books have been read, but they are still in good condition. Wear and tear should be minimal.

Dust jacket may not be present.


We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.

At Bookworms we keep things simple. So we charge one fee no matter the size of your order.

$6.00 - Any non-rural address New Zealand wide.
$9.70 - Any rural address New Zealand wide

Free Shipping

To qualify for free shipping if you are sending your order to a New Zealand postal address (rural or non-rural), your total order value must be over $50. You should see this as a shipping option at checkout.

Timeframes

Order before 5pm on a business day and we'll have the courier ordered for the following business days. This should have your order on your doorstep within 3 working days (allow slightly longer for Rural)

Tracking

We track all our orders, so if you are wondering where your order is either get in touch with us, or check the tracking link in the email you will receive after the courier has been booked. If you are having trouble with shipping, please get in touch and we can follow this up with the courier.

Overseas Shipping

While we can ship overseas, in the current climate the cost of sending internationally is HUGE and The Bookworms Team have had to price shipping outside of New Zealand accordingly. We have faith the world will return to some semblance of normal and we can go back to being a more reasonable part of the global economy. The flat fee still applies for overseas orders but unfortunately not the free shipping offer. 

Australia - $25
Rest of the world - $75

Because we are primarily dealing with second-hand products of varying conditions, The Bookworms Team does its very best to describe the condition of its products as accurately as possible. Our approach on this is that we don't want our customers to have any surprises when they receive their order. We'd hate for you to be waiting for a book and then it turns up in an unexpected condition. 

However we know that it can happen, the quality of the product delivered may not be what you expected, maybe we missed the mark when describing the product condition. Whatever happens, please get in touch with us to explain the issue and we will do our best to help out.

Depending on the situation, some ways we can help are:

  1. Provide a full refund of the price of the product.
  2. Refund a portion of the price of the product to match its condition.
  3. Source another copy of the product to meet your expectations.

In all situations we will abide by The Consumer Guarantees Act and The Fair Trading Act, but at the end of the day getting a book to right place with the right person is the aim of this game. We also reserve the right to request you to return the product at our expense, but this will not always be required, if it can still be used. 

The first step is contacting us if you would like to discuss the quality of the product you've received. We also love to hear from you with any positive feedback so we can make sure we keep doing the good stuff too.
